BOOK II - DARK SHADOW

"You think your winning, Zortin?" said a buff guy with a deep voice and a British accent who was holding his arm. "HA, I have just began to fight! You will be the first to see this new technique I've been working on, too bad you won't be able to tell anyone about it!" He grinned and, then got focused and began to power up. Zortin was still confident, but started to charge up a ki blast --- just in case. Zortin was leaner than his aponet, but was very chiseled.
The other worrier screamed as he charged up. Then, something happened, he turned all black, pitch-black, nothing but a siluet of his hole body, his clothes, and hair all nothing but a siluet, exept for his eyes, which were an evil yellow, they would only disapere when he blinked.
"Wha-what happened, Palfecto?" said Zortin.
"I have transformed to Dark Shadow, you can call me Dark Palfecto! Ha ha haaa!"
Zortin quickly got his ki blast ready and shot it at Dark Palfecto, but, like a ghost, he flew away almost leaving tail, faster then Zortin could see. Zortin flew up to search, and for a moment saw nothing, then he saw two yellow eyes looking at him, then it faded black again. Dark Palfecto laughed deeply.
"He can make himself invisible too," Zortin thought. "This is gonna be though." Zortin swooped down in a kick, but when went to make contact, Zortin's leg went right through Dark Palfecto. He grinned even wider. Zortin was stunned.
Dark Palfecto turned invisible again and flew up super high, but whail he moved in his invisible state, Zortin could see a wavy outline of Dark Palfecto.
"So, only if he is still, and his eyes are closed, can he truly be invisible." thought Zortin.
Then, Palfecto powered-down from his Dark Shadow technique. "What?" said Zortin.
Then, before he could react, Palfecto an enormous ki blast, and the energy took Zortin to the ground.
"He must not be able to attack while in the Dark Shadow form," Zortin thought. "Why ealse would he power-down? This technique has some serious flaws, I have to find away to take advantage of them, and fast."
Palfecto turned Dark Shadow again, and came over Zortin. Dark Palfecto must have been confident, because he came right up to Zortin.
"You see, you can't win," sneered Dark Palfecto. Zortin struggled to stand when suddenly, another man zoomed in and shoot and big ki blast at Dark Palfecto. A huge hole formed in Palfecto's siluet and he winced in pain. Then he flew off at amazing speeds out of sight.
The man bent over and helped Zortin up. "Are you Okay, Zortin?"
"Ya, ya, I'm all right, Ozglif."
"Now, who in the hell was that?" said Ozglif.
"Palfecto," said Zortin straight out.
"What!?! It couldn't be, how?!?"
"It is, obviously he's learned a new technique. It's called Dark Shadow, it works wonder for defense, he's super fast, can turn invisible, and hand-to-hand combat is useless. But, he must turn back to his normal state to attack, and as you've just seen, ki strikes are very effective. If we were just faster we could defeat him, because he can't always be destracted like that."
"Well, let's go, we will worry about it later, let's get you cleaned up first." They both flew home.
  
Somewhere in a nearby woods, Dark Palfecto landed, deciding he was far enough. He powered-down, and was hurt bad. Palfecto leaned against a tree and rested.
"I'll get both off them for this." said Palfecto.
  
At Zortin's house he and Ozglif discussed what to do next.
"Well, hopefully he'll be out of commission for a little wail," said Ozglif. "I got a good shot on him."
"Hopefully, yes. But then he will probly come looking for us, and kill allot of innocent people in the prossece. The best thing we could probably do is train, and get faster."
"Yes, but, that could take some time, and that's one thin we just don't have. Palfecto is very strong, we could have beaten him before, but now, I just don't know."
"We could try to learn the Dark Shadow technique too," Zortin said.
"No. We're not even sure how he did it or trained to do it. And besides, He probably worked for a long time. Hey yhea, that's why he was keeping so quiet for so long, he was training."
"Hm, Oh! I know a technique we do know!" said Zortin with a grin.
"What?" said Ozglif raising an eyebrow.
"A fusion!"
"What, no, we can't, no!" said Ozglif. Zortin kept grinning and knoding.
"Why not?" said Zortin. "It'll work!"
"Well, I mean, it's been along time since Grandpa taught us. And since he's gone, I don't think anyone eales knows it."
"Your grandpa's gone but I still remember how to do it!" said Zortin.
"Yes, well, I still remember it pretty good too, and if it's the only way," said Ozglif dropping his shoulders and sighing. "I guess I will do it."
"All right!" said Zortin, "we can win!"
  
Later, Ozglif was meet up with Istara, she was a friend of both Ozglif and Zortin. Istara had long black hair, which she usually wore in a bun (including right now).
"So, you two are going to fuse to beet Palfecto, and to make sure he doesn't reek havoc among the world, you want me to keep watch, right?" repeated Istara.
"Yhea, that's about the size of it," answered Ozglif.
"Well, what if he does show up, how am I s'pose to fight him if you two can't even do it?"
"A-um, I guess if you just have to run if you see him, find us, and maybe all three of us can beet Palfecto. But you better be fast, because speed is one of the Dark Shadow techniques strong points. And remember, if you have to fight, use ki, because hand-to-hand does nothing."
"I can't believe I'm doing this, but, Okay."
"Awesome, now Zortin and I have to start training right away. See ya!" Ozglif flew off toward Zortin's house.
"Here we go," said Istara to her self. She flew up and took a look around. "Well, everthings fine around here," Istara thought to herself. "I'll go to were Zortin and Palfecto fought, if he's in hiding, he'll still be in that area, so when he decides to make a move, I'll see it," and she was off.
  
Palfecto was sitting on a rock, he still had a large gash whare he was hit, but it was better than before.
"I'm still in bad shape, but soon, I will be back to perfect health, and then I will kill that Zortin and his little friend."
  
"Okay Zortin, Istara will be our look-out. Now, are you sure your redy to train? you got pretty banged up."
"Yes, yes, I'm fine, lets get started."
"Okay."
"You still remember it all?" asked Zortin.
"Um, yhea, I think so. Lets just."
Zortin went to the left, Ozglif to the right. They stood about six steps away from each other. The had both of there arms in fists pointing away from each another perfectly horizontally level with the ground. They stood on there toes with there knees bent to make a diamond in there legs. Then, in prefect, in an exactly alike motin, they each took three steps torawd each other, wail moving there arms one-hundred-eighty degrees over there heads, so there fists almost touch, they did it like a mirror, and whail they did it they said: FU!, and stopped perfectly still. Then, at the same time, they put there arms back to there original positions, only with there fingers sticking out straight, and at the same time they did that, they bent there inside knee, and straitened there outside legs, and turned there bent knee a quarter turn away from there partner, and whail they did that they said: SOIN! Then, they arced there backs toward each other, putting the inside leg on the ground with the knee bent, and the outside knee is straight exept for the ancal, which is bent inward, and one arm goes over the head, and one goes under the head. Now, if they mirrored each other perfectly: check - are of equal size, and strength: check, check - and there index fingers touch perfectly together, then they will fuse, which means that a new body with characteristics from both people will be formed containing both there strength, and minds. A bright light will flash if successful, and Zortin, and Ozglif will be one. This fusion will last for about thirty minutes, then they will separate, and be nomale again.
So they did it, but one problem, there fingers missed by about fifteen centimeters.
"Man, we did so good too," said Zortin.
"I think we can do it, but we just need some practice," said Ozglif.
"Well then, lets keep trying."
"Okay."
  
"Aaah, what a good nap," said Palfecto, yawning. "I feel much better, hmm..." Palfecto inspected his wond. Nothing was left of it but a scar. "I see that healing plant really does work. Now, to get revenge, MWAA-HA-HA-HAAA!"
Palfecto flew up and glanced around. In the distance, Istara saw Palfecto.
"Oh my god, I hope he doesn't see me, I gotta get out of here." But Palfecto sensed he ki, and turned.
"WHAT! She saw me!" Palfecto transformed to Dark Shadow and chased Istara. Istara flew as fast as she could, totally forgetting to hide her ki. But no matter how fast she was going, Dark Shadow could catch up, and he did.
Suddenly, Dark Palfecto appeared right in front of Istara.
"Huh, no," she said.
"Yes," said the domonic voice of Dark Palfecto. "Who do we have here? a beautiful lady, were you trying to warn someone of me? You must be a decent worrier, you can fly." Istara looked at the blank, black face of the Dark Shadow worrier. Istara charged a ki blast and shot it directly at Dark Palfecto, but he vanished. Suddenly, Istara felt a devastating blow to the back, she slowly turned, and for a moment, she saw what Palfecto truly looked like, she looked into his evil eyes, filled like a pool, with hatred. Istara threw a punch, but Palfecto turned Dark Shadow, and it right through him. Dark Palfecto laughed hard, he spiraled away, and said: "How's bout I bring it down to your level, hm?"
Palfecto powered-down and grind. Istara swooped down and landed a hard kick on Palfecto's cheek.
"Bitch," he said quietly putting his hand on his cheek. "No matter, KI RAPID FIRE!" Then Palfecto shot dozens of energy orbs from each hand at Istara. She doged some, then got hit with tree of the small orbs, and fell to the ground.
"HA ha ha," laughed Palfecto.
"HEY!" said a voice. "Pick on someone your own power level!"
Palfecto turned and saw Zorglif - the fusion of Zortin, and Ozglif.
"Wha-what! Who are you!" said Palfecto squinting at the man.
"I'm Zorglif, This is the result of Zortin, the guy first unveiled Dark Shadow to, and Ozglif, the guy who saved his butt."
"A fusion huh? I'll still beet you! HAH!" Palfecto shot an enormous ki blast at Zorglif, but doged it with amazing speed. Palfecto looked shocked.
"Fine! you wanna play that way! Yaah!" and he turned Dark Shadow. Dark Palfecto zoomed away, but Zorglif was also very fast. He came up from behind and shot a large ki blast at Dark Palfecto, and he fell to the ground. Zorglif followed and landed next to Palfecto and he changed back to his normal state. Palfecto tried to sweep Zorglif, but he jumped to miss it.
Palfecto slowly got up, and was breathing hard. he tried to punch, but Zorglif blocked it, then used rapid punches to Palfecto's face, and he was on the ground.
"How could I lose....Dark Shadow was the ultiment technique," said Palfecto horesaly.
"Well I guess the Dark Shadow technique is second best, to the fusion technique. AHHH!" Zorglif shot a huge ki blast, and desinagrated Palfecto.
Zorglif flew over to Istara who was finally sitting up.
"Are you Okay?" said Zorglif.
"Yes," said Istara. "I'll be fine after I rest."
"That's good," said Zorglif. Just then, Zorglif defused in a flash of light.
"Wow," said Zortin. "We were great!"
"Yhea, maybe we will do it again some time, if we need to," said Ozglif.
"Yhea, we could beet any villain as Zorglif"
"Well," said Istara. "How about you to help me get back so I can rest, eh?"
"Okay," said Zortin, and he picked up Istara as she laughed a bit, and he took off.
"Hey, wait for me!" said Ozglif going after them.
"One thing," Zortin asked Istara.
"What?" she said.
"Please take that silly bun out of your hair."
"No way, Zortin. No way."
